Homework Statement
Knowing you can jump about 1m high on Earth's surface, how high can you jump on the unknown planet.
Munknown= 4.19*10^21kg
Radius Unknown= 1*10^6m
Homework Equations
Not sure if can be used in this question
K1+U1 = K2 + U2
1/2MV2 + mgh = 1/2MV2 + mgh
U=-GM/r and U = mgh
g=GM/R2
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I found the force of gravity on the unknown planet using GM/R2
Giving me 0.28m/s2
Can I just equate the two equations for Gravitional Potential energy (U) to find the new height? as in -GM/r = mgh?
